Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, providing a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
We deliver strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We wear task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Although each project is one-of-a-kind, our work adheres to the same fundamental approach: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 techniques, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify all energy sources, verify lack of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment matched to incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Building Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You reference NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You prepare work for each inspection, employing a precise inspection checklist: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You maintain as-builts current, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Clear Rates and Open Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work starts, with check here no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we give you easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You are provided with a thorough breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's required and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. If field conditions change—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Fees
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll find detailed costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also include bundle discounts when you combine related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your budget, schedule, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements in simple terms. If we propose panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus practical energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance schedules.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
